[General] wiki gardening update

[Priscilla Chung]

If you haven't already noticed on the OSAF wiki, there have been a  
few updates. Jared and I meet every other week on Tuesday to go over  
what needs to be 'fixed' or updated on the OSAF wiki. Feel free to  
file a bug under OSAF/Component: wiki, so we can keep track of requests.

Bread-crumbs are now visible. Please note it is up to the person  
creating the page to make sure the pages are linked from the correct  
topic page. (See instructions below to learn how to re-parent a page.)

We have slowly been rolling out a new 'Tab' (web home) based on the  
taxonomy work Mimi/Ted had worked on last year. See mock ups of tab  
sections: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/Journal/WikiReTaxonomy

We'll be asking each of the content owners to start re-parenting the  
links so that they fall under the correct tabs (web homes). Note:  
there will no longer be a 'Projects' tab (web home) after we're done.

*Instructions to re-parent a page:*
(The example I am using is the 'Product' web home: http:// 
wiki.osafoundation.org/Product/WebHome)

+ To start re-parenting some of the links (or sub pages) from the  
Product page, first select the sub-page you want to reparent, for  
example, Preview Target User Group: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/ 
Journal/PreviewTargetUserGroup
+ Click on the 'More topic actions' at the bottom of the wiki page  
(in red)
+ Select 'Rename or move topic…, looking for references in all public  
webs (recommended)'
+ Select 'Product' in the drop down list under ' To web:'
+ Check through the list of pages linked to Preview Target User Group  
which will be updated to point *to* the currently modified page.

We're still testing to see if anything else will break on the wiki  
before rolling out the rest of the sections. Currently we're aware  
that links from archived e-mails and search engines outside of the  
OSAF wiki will break.  We're working on having redirects when someone  
clicks on a link to a page which has been moved.

Next Design Session on Tuesday at 2:30PM, we'll be hosting a wiki  
gardening party!
More info to come…
